Born Bright (M)
[P]
Dual-winning hurdler in 2024/25 and matched that feat over the larger obstacles last season. Not seen since August, however, and is entitled to need this.

Two Pair (M)
FAV
Posted career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle (15/2) over shorter trip at Bellewstown 28 days ago. Goes handicapping now and may have more to give yet.

Joshua's Daylami (M)
Respectable eighth of 20 in 3m handicap hurdle at Cork (3m) 12 months ago on his final run for P. G. Fahey. Has her fitness to prove here.

Thomas O'Connor | M Fahey | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Roxhill Roise (M)
[T1]
Twice a winner in 2024 but proved largely disappointing since, including over fences on last 3 occasions. Starts off for new yard with plenty to prove. Tongue strap on first time.

Crystal Gold (M)
[T1]
Disappointed at Cork latest but had run with promise on 2 of her 3 starts previously and is worth monitoring in the market on handicap debut. Booking of Williamson a plus. Tongue strap on first time.

One Night Standard (M)
C&D winner who also landed a handicap hurdle off this mark for Gavin Cromwell back in 2024. Not been in same form since, mostly over fences, and has something to prove on return for new yard.

Kimy (M)
[P]
Just 1 win from 22 NH runs but has tumbled down the weights and arrives on back of creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft, 13/2) 26 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly.

Danny Mullins | T Mullins | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Malikanna (M)
Much improved when very good second of 13 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Limerick (2m, heavy) 55 days ago. Ought to appreciate this longer trip and remains with potential.

Aidan Kelly | P Roche | 5 | 70.8 kg |

Fair Damsel (M)

Lakewood Rose (M)
Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles, including when fourth on handicap debut at Tramore (21f) last month. Others more persuasive.

Simple Things (F)
FAV
[H]
Promising type who upped her game when very good second of 10 in handicap hurdle over shorter trip at Bellewstown 28 days ago. Looks well worth a crack over this stiffer test and is one for the shortlist.

Morell River (M)
Found improvement when scoring over C&D in October. Below that level at Gowran the following month but is worth monitoring in the market on first outing since.

Miss Lia (M)

Put rare poor run behind her when creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft) 48 days ago and is just 2 lb higher here, Respected.

Last Note (M)
More miis than hit for Nick Littmoden and not seen since well held at Huntingdon 7 months ago. Work to do on debut for new connectiosn here.

Lily Milan (M)
Run to a similar level in all 3 starts over hurdles, including when good sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Cork 41 days ago. May have more to offer on handicap debut. RESERVE.
